April 19—General MacArthur lashed out at "internal subversion and corruption a**d de tailed regimentation over our 1 daily lives.” He mentioned no names but it was obvious that he was stniring in part at least at the Democratic administration. MacArthur was brief, but blunt, in a speech to the Daughters of the American Revolution. After prauing the DAR for its fight to preaerve "those great ideals which bulwarked our forefathers." MacArthur said: “The complexities and confusion largely resulting from internal sub version and corruption and detailed regimentation over our daily life now threatens the country no less than it was threatened in Washing ton's day. “Under these harmful influences we have drifted far away, and to a dangerous degree, from the sim ple but immutable pattern etched by our forefathers. It behooves this distinguished society to assert a dy namic leadership in checking this drift and regaining the ground which we have lost. “In this hour of crisis, all pa triots look to you.** MacArthur said he long has “sought personally to pay you the tribute thpt is in my heart." “Of all the great societies of the country during the past century,” MacArthur said. “I know of none which has fought more diligently for the preservation of those great ideals which bulwarked our fore fathers in their efforts to secure and preserve freedom.” Mrs. MacArthur is a member of the DAR, the Colonel Hardy Mur- free chapter of Murfreesboro, Tenn. She. too. was introduced, but she said she couldn't make a speech. "I have never made a {speech in all my life.” she said. “I leave that up to the general." Arthur MacArthur also took a bow. The MacArthurs then joined with the DAR in singing "Faith of Our Fathers.” Retail Food Prices In South Continue Climb Atlanta.

Washington, April 19. — The Daughters of the American Revo lution adopted a resolution calling on the state department for a "clear presentation of its foreign policy so that it can be intelligently under stood.” In other resolutions, the 60th an nual DAR congress opposed recog nition of Communist China and called for a “freeze’ ’in foreign economic assistance expenditures to reduce the feleral budget. The delegates dmanded that con gress practice rigid economy in re ducing non-defense spending and that die armed forces curtail their “extravagant use" of civilian man power. Other seolutions adopted. Urged passage of laws requiring all teachers in the nation’s public schools and colleges to swear al legiance to the United States. Supported pending legislation to expand the marine corps and make its commandant a permanent mem ber of the joint chiefs of staff. Opposed drafting of women and men for civilian service. Endorsed Universal Military training. Opposd any move to replace the U. S. pledge of allegiance and national anthem with a United Na tions oath and song. • Urged members to be on guard against the introduction of subver sive ideas into American educa tion. Disapproved "any control of pub lic recreation by the United States government." Urged congress to take immedi ate steps to establish the United States claim to Antartica. The resolution noted that England, Aus tralia, New Zealand, France, Ar gentina, Chile and Norway have laid claim to the Polar regions. Commended congress for its con tinued support of the house un- Amencan activities committee, and praised J. Edgar Hoover and his FBI Successful washing of slipcovers depends upon their being wash able, shrink-proof and colorfost. This can be checked by washing a sample left from the tailoring. Cut out a square, and trace on a sheet of paper. After washing and iron ing several times, check with trac ing as to size. Colorfastness can be determined by a simple test: dip a piece of the' material in sudsy solution, squeeze and then press on a white cloth or a blotter. If the color runs, it will stain the cloth. Slipcovers are not difficult to wash, especially in a machine, but it’s best to do one at a time. Heavy materials, especially, are better done a piece at a time for easy handling when wet.. Use a vacuum or a whisk broom while the covers are still on chair or sofa. This will get rid of ac cumulated dust in seams, cordings, corners. Notice the areas which are espe cially soiled when you remove the slipcovers. Arm and heal rests particularly, will be heavily soiled. Scrub these before washing with a small hand brush before washing the cover. 1 Water for washing should not be more than 100 degrees F, Water which is hot may ruin slipcovers. Use rich soap or detergent suds. Slipcovers should be hung from parallel clothes lines for best dry ing. Pin chair cover back to one line and front of arms to the sec ond line. Pull chair covers into shape as much as possible while they hang to dry. The more wrinkles that can be smoothed out while wet, the less there will be to ironing the covers.
